With the controversy surrounding the lead coach for "Dance Moms," speculations suggest that Kalani Hilliker will replace Abby Lee Miller for the rest of the season and beyond.

According to Yibada, an image of Murrieta Dance Project owner and coach Erin Babbs has been circulating online. What is interesting to note is that Babbs is seen with Kendall Vertes, Kalani Hilliker and Brynn Rumfallo. While the picture is not a confirmation of anything, the industry follower surmises that it seems to be an indication that the dancers will be working with Babbs for the duration of season 6 and may even be extended to another season.

Miller will not be seen on "Dance Moms" for a time, since the coach has pleaded guilty to one count of fraud. Reportedly, the "Dance Moms" star has been withholding her assets and has filed for bankruptcy although there are still listed assets. Although Miller has admitted to a wrongdoing, she is still in danger of facing prison time from two months up to 30 months.

Meanwhile, although talks of Miller's replacements are circulating online, there are also rumors that "Dance Moms" will stop with season 6. Reportedly, aside from Miller's legal troubles, the ALDC may be suffering from some setbacks due to the exit of Maddie and Mackenzie Ziegler. However, all is not lost since there are also talks that with the show on the chopping block, Ziegler might make a return as guest dancer, together with another show graduate, Chloe Lukasiak.

It remains to be seen though, if their returns will push through. Reportedly, Ziegler has been quoted as saying that she is enjoying her life after "Dance Moms," and is graceful enough to just let others shine this time around.

"Leaving 'Dance Moms' was a hard decision to make, but it was getting too stressful," Ziegler stated.
